About: I have taken care of many kinds of dogs. I am always excited to take care of dogs. They are my best friend. I love them. I am willing to work Full-time every day of the week. I will board dogs if needed. I will take care of them like they are my own. I will give them their medications if needed. I will walk them as far as the owner wants me to walk them. Dogs are always welcome.
About: I am a pet groomer of 10+ yrs. I am cat and dog CPR and First Aid certified. I have worked in a vet clinic for 2 years as a groomer where I filled in for vet techs also. I have completed dog training courses and animal behavioral courses. Taking care of pets is more than just a job. It is something I am passionate about, and providing the best care for pets of all shapes and sizes I am a house call dog groomer running my own buisness so I makes sure to schedule everyone around eachother to make sure all the pets in my care are taken care of. I am very flexible as every dog and or cat has different needs. I have slip leads and extra leashes if needed but would prefer if you had your own. For pet walking I ask that you have a secured collar or harness to use for their walk. I have poop bags on hand always. If you send me a message telling me what your looking for specifically I can do that or we can talk it out to fit your needs. If I am pet sitting in your home I would like a list of things for your pet like food and or medications, how much they need and when they need them etc. How often you want them taken out. Are you looking for someone to stay overnight or make visits throughout the day, etc. As I said I am very flexible it just depends on what your pets needs are and what is available
About: I have been surrounded by pets my entire life, ranging from high-energy puppies to gentle senior dogs. Growing up in a household where our pets were family, I learned early on the importance of patience, consistent routines, and, of course, plenty of affection. Whether it’s a long walk, a game of fetch in the yard, or just some quiet company on the couch, I am dedicated to making sure your furry friend feels safe, loved, and happy while you’re away. I can dedicate afternoons, weekends, and holidays entirely to pet sitting, meaning your furry friend becomes my primary focus. I treat pet care as my main priority during these times. I have a fenced yard and 3 friendly dogs that range from energetic puppy to an older couch potato. I can accommodate whatever needs your pet may have.
About: I’ve been taking care of all kinds of animals such as; dogs, cats, birds, turtles and even fishes. I enjoy helping people care for their pets while being at work, school or out for vacationing. It’s been my passion to help train animals and feed them and take them for vaccinations or grooming and walks and etc. I’m currently working part time due to myself having a kid to take care of but other than that I can still manage to take care of any animal that is in need of a caring home. I’m also available to provide services at my own home just as well as going to someone else home. I’m available five days out the week during early mornings or late evenings. I provide toys, cages, food, water and little treats for dogs and cats or birds. I play with them bathe them, walk them feed them and also train them as well if needed.

Frequently asked questions about Rover
As of July 2026, there are 8 sitters on Rover offering Pet Sitting across Philadelphia. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.
A pet sitter can provide focused care sessions, help your pet’s routine stay on track, or keep you updated on your pet’s mood and energy levels.
Whether you’re at the office for the day or traveling for a few nights, a pet sitter can offer potty breaks during a Philadelphia stroll, cleaning the litter box, or making sure your pet has on-time food or water refills. For daytime services like walking and drop-ins, you can also request sitters to send a report card with every visit.
Tip: You can discuss your specific arrangements with a pet sitter on Rover to what fits you, your pet, and your sitter’s needs. To find what their special skills are, look at the "Skills" and "Pet care experience" sections on their profile.
If you would like updates while you’re away, you can discuss with your sitter how many or how frequent you’d like those updates to be. The Rover app allows sitters to send photos, videos, and messages about your pet, including how many pee or poop breaks occurred. You can message your sitter at any time through the app and our support team is available 24/7 by email or chat if you have concerns.
The personalized, in-home nature of pet care through Rover can mean more individual attention for your pet.
Many pet parents provide a spare key or arrange a lockbox. You can also exchange keys during the Meet & Greet and show your walker how to use digital fobs or personalized codes. It helps to arrange access to your home, from spare keys to concierge introductions, before pet care begins.
If you live in an apartment or condo, don’t forget to discuss details like buzzer access, codes, or elevator etiquette. These details can help a pet sitter feel more comfortable going in and out of your building.
Every sitter on Rover is required to pass a background check before listing their services. This process confirms their identity and indicates they are not on the Department of Justice’s National Sex Offender Public Website or have any disqualifying offenses.
Beyond ID checks, you can review each sitter's star rating, read verified reviews from other pet parents, and see how many repeat clients they have. Every booking is backed by the Rover Guarantee, which includes up to $25,000 in eligible veterinary care. For more details, visit Rover's Trust & Safety page .
The Rover Guarantee is Rover’s commitment to your peace of mind every time you book. It includes 24/7 customer support, sitter access to advice from qualified veterinary professionals for diagnostic issues, and a reimbursement program for eligible veterinary care in the rare event something goes wrong.
All bookings are backed by the Rover Guarantee , which provides up to $25,000 in eligible veterinary care reimbursement.
Yes, you can find sitters who have experience administering medication or managing dietary requirements. You can also find pet sitters who accept only one pet at a time, which is ideal for anxious puppies or senior pets who move at a gentler pace. Some sitters will also list availability for 24/7 care, also known as constant care, in their profiles.
Use the search filters to narrow down sitters whose specific experience or environment meets your pet's needs. When reaching out to your sitter, outline your pet's care routine and request a Meet & Greet to walk your sitter through your expectations.
A Meet & Greet is a short introductory meeting between you, your pet, and a sitter. It can take place in person or virtually, although we recommend in-person so that your pet can get to know your sitter or the new environment. During the Meet & Greet, you will have a chance to walk through your pet's routine, medical needs, and unique quirks. Take the time to ask your sitter questions about their skills and expertise, and make sure the fit feels right for everyone. Most pet parents and sitters on Rover welcome Meet & Greets because the process can give confidence and peace of mind for service experiences, especially for longer stays or first-time bookings.
Sitters on Rover set their own cancellation policy, which you can find on their profile under their calendar availability.
Cancelling before a booking begins and before the sitter's cutoff time qualifies you for a full refund. Same-day cancellations for walks, day care, and drop-ins follow the full refund policy. Otherwise, for dog boarding and house sitting, you will receive a 50% refund for the first seven days of the booking and a 100% refund for the remaining days when you cancel the same day a booking should begin.
If your sitter needs to cancel within seven days of the booking's start date, then our reservation protection will kick in. This means our support team works with you to find a replacement sitter.
